[0029] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present invention, its application, or uses.

[0031] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0033] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present application, a support mechanism is provided. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support mechanism includes a support member 1 and a positioning member 12. The support member 1 is provided with a plurality of raised portions 11 spaced apart horizontally, with a groove 14 formed between two adjacent raised portions 11. The positioning member 12 is connected to the support member 1 and includes positioning surfaces 121 extending in a first direction and a second direction, respectively. The plurality of raised portions 11 are adapted to support a workpiece 3, and the positioning surface 121 of the positioning member 12 is adapted to contact two adjacent edges of the workpiece 3 to position the workpiece 3.

[0035] In this example, when the support mechanism supports the workpiece 3, the multiple protrusions of the support member 1 can support the workpiece 3, and the groove portion 14 between two adjacent protrusions 11 corresponds to the printed rubber portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3, thereby avoiding the printed rubber portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3 and contacting the edge of the workpiece 3 through the positioning member 12 to position the workpiece 3 on the support member 1.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, in this example, when the support member 1 supports the workpiece 3, the workpiece 3 is placed on the multiple protrusions 11. The surface of the workpiece 3 is provided with multiple rows of printed rubber portions 31 along the length direction, and each row of printed rubber portions 31 is provided with multiple printed rubber portions 31 along the width direction. The multiple raised portions 11 on the support member 1 can be spaced apart along the length direction of the workpiece 3, and a groove portion 14 can be formed between two adjacent raised portions 11. When the workpiece 3 is placed on the raised portions 11, the surface of the workpiece 3 facing the support member 1 is provided with a printed rubber portion 31, and the printed rubber portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3 can correspond to the groove portion 14, that is, the printed rubber portion 31 can be suspended at the position of the groove portion 14, thereby preventing the printed rubber portion 31 from adhering to other parts or equipment.

[0037] Among them, such as 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the raised portion 11 is provided at the edge of the support member 1. The two support members 1 can be spaced apart, and a positioning member 12 is mounted on each of the two support members 1. The edge of one side of the workpiece 3 is placed on one support member 1, and the edge of the other side is placed on the other support member 1. This allows the distance between the two support members 1 to be adjusted to accommodate workpieces 3 of different sizes. Alternatively, the raised portion 11 can be provided throughout the width of the support member 1 so that one workpiece 3 can be placed on one support member 1.

[0038] In this example, the workpiece 3 can be a battery cell, with a printed adhesive portion 31 being screen-printed on one or two opposing surfaces of the cell. The raised portions 11 support the workpiece 3, and the recessed portions 14 between two adjacent raised portions 11 avoid the printed adhesive portion 31 on the cell surface. The support mechanism can be mounted on a conveyor belt 21, with the cell placed on the support member 1. The conveyor belt 21 drives the support mechanism to move, thereby transporting the cell.

[0039] Of course, the workpiece 3 may also be other types of parts, and those skilled in the art may determine it according to actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0040] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this example, the positioning member 12 includes positioning surfaces 121 extending in a first direction and a second direction, respectively. The positioning surfaces 121 are adapted to contact two adjacent edges of the workpiece 3. That is, the positioning member 12 can correspond to the corners of the workpiece 3 so that the two positioning surfaces 121 extending in the first direction and the second direction can contact two adjacent edges of the workpiece 3, thereby positioning the workpiece 3.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, the positioning member 12 is located on one side of the protrusion 11 , the first direction may be the width direction of the workpiece 3 , and the second direction may be the length direction of the workpiece 3 . That is, the positioning member 12 is arranged in an L shape, and the inner wall of the L shape is two positioning surfaces 121 .

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this example, multiple positioning members 12 can be provided. For example, positioning members 12 are provided on opposite sides of the protrusion 11. Multiple protrusions 11 are provided on opposite sides of the support member 1, that is, the support member 1 is provided with two sets of protrusions 11, so that the opposite sides of the support member 1 can each support a workpiece 3. Positioning members 12 are provided at the four corners of the support member 1 to accommodate the two sets of protrusions 11.

[0043] In one example, the positioning member 12 is detachably connected to the supporting member 1 .

[0044] In this example, the positioning member 12 is detachably connected to the support member 1 and is located on one side of the raised portion 11. By detachably connecting the positioning member 12 to the support member 1, positioning members 12 of different sizes can be replaced to accommodate workpieces 3 of different sizes. For example, the positioning member 12 can be a positioning block. When the workpiece 3 is small, a larger positioning block or a positioning block of a different shape can be installed so that the positioning block can contact the edge of the workpiece 3, thereby positioning the workpiece 3. When the workpiece 3 is large, a smaller positioning block or a positioning block of a different shape can be replaced so that the positioning block can contact the edge of the workpiece 3, thereby positioning the workpiece 3.

[0045] In this example, the positioning member 12 can be detachably connected to the support member 1 by screwing or clamping. Those skilled in the art can determine the method according to actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0046] In one example, Figure 1 As shown, the positioning surface 121 is tilted so that the positioning surface 121 can guide the workpiece 3 .

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, when the workpiece 3 is placed on the raised portion 11 , the two positioning surfaces 121 are gradually arranged close to the workpiece from top to bottom, and the two positioning surfaces 121 can respectively contact two adjacent edges of the workpiece 3 .

[0048] When placing the workpiece 3, the workpiece 3 is placed on the raised portion 11 from top to bottom. When the workpiece 3 deflects, one end of the workpiece 3 can contact the positioning surface 121. The positioning surface 121 is gradually inclined from top to bottom, and the workpiece 3 can move downward along the positioning surface 121, so that the workpiece 3 can be accurately placed on the support 1, thereby guiding the workpiece 3. When the workpiece 3 is placed on the raised portion 11, the bottom end of the positioning surface 121 can contact the edge of the workpiece 3, thereby positioning the workpiece 3.

[0049] Alternatively, in this example, the positioning member 12 may be a positioning block, and a guide surface is provided on the side of the positioning block facing the protrusion 11. The specific structure of the positioning member 12 can be determined by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0050] In one example, the positioning member 12 can adjust its position relative to the supporting member 1 along the first direction and / or the second direction.

[0051] In this example, the positioning member 12 is movable in a first direction and / or a second direction to adjust its position relative to the support member 1, thereby accommodating workpieces 3 of varying sizes. For example, the first direction may be the width of the workpiece 3, and the second direction may be the length of the workpiece 3. The positioning member 12 can be adjusted in the first direction based on the width of the workpiece 3, and can also be adjusted in the second direction based on the length of the workpiece 3, so that the two positioning surfaces of the positioning member 12 can respectively contact two adjacent side walls of the workpiece 3, thereby stably positioning the workpiece 3.

[0052] In one example, the positioning member 12 and / or the support member 1 is provided with a mounting groove 122 along a first direction, and the positioning member 12 can be adjusted in a horizontal direction along the mounting groove 122 .

[0053] Figure 2 As shown, in this example, the mounting groove 122 is a strip-shaped groove, with the length of the strip-shaped groove along the first direction. For example, the positioning member 12 is provided with a fixed mounting groove 122, and the support member 1 is provided with a connecting hole 13 at a corresponding position. A fastener such as a stud is inserted through the adjustment groove and screwed into the connecting hole 13 to secure the positioning member 12 to the support member 1. When the position of the positioning member 12 needs to be adjusted, the stud is loosened, the positioning member 12 is moved along the first direction to adjust to the desired position, and then the stud is tightened.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in this example, the support member 1 is provided with a plurality of connection holes 13 at intervals. By screwing the studs into different connection holes 13 , the distance range of the position adjustment of the positioning member 12 can be further increased.

[0055] Alternatively, the mounting groove 122 may also be provided on the support member 1 along the first direction, and the positioning member 12 may be provided with a connecting hole 13 .

[0056] In this example, the mounting groove 122 may also be arranged along the second direction. Those skilled in the art may determine this according to actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0057] In one example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a through hole is provided in the middle of the support member along the thickness direction. That is, the middle of the support member 1 is hollowed out. The hollowing out of the support member 1 is conducive to the lightweight design of the support member 1.

[0058] In one example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support member 1 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 11 on both sides of the through hole.

[0059] In this example, a plurality of protrusions 11 are provided on both sides of the through hole, so that both sides of the support member 1 can support a workpiece 3 respectively, thereby improving the utilization rate of the support member 1 .

[0060] According to another embodiment of the present application, a glue-avoiding tool is provided. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the glue-avoiding tool includes the support mechanism of the above embodiment, and a plurality of the support mechanisms are arranged at intervals, and two adjacent support mechanisms are suitable for supporting opposite sides of the workpiece 4.

[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this example, the support member 1 of the support mechanism is provided with a plurality of protrusions 11, which can support the workpiece 3, and the groove portion 14 between two adjacent protrusions 11 corresponds to the printed rubber portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3, thereby avoiding the printed rubber portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3 and contacting the edge of the workpiece 3 through the positioning member 12 to position the workpiece 3 on the support member 1.

[0062] In this example, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the glue-avoiding tooling includes a plurality of the supporting mechanisms, which are arranged at intervals, and two adjacent supporting mechanisms are suitable for supporting opposite sides of the workpiece 3.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this example, multiple support mechanisms are spaced apart, that is, multiple support members 1 are spaced apart, with a gap between each support member 1. Two adjacent support members 1 can respectively support the edges of the workpiece 3 on opposite sides. The positioning members 12 on the two support members 1 can respectively abut or contact the opposite sides of the workpiece 3, thereby positioning the workpiece 3.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, multiple protrusions 11 are provided on both sides of the support member 1, and the multiple support members 1 are arranged at intervals, so that the middle support member 1 can cooperate with the support members 1 on both sides to support the workpiece 3, so as to improve the space utilization of the glue-avoiding tooling, which is conducive to saving installation space.

[0065] In this example, the distance between two adjacent support members 1 can be adjusted to accommodate workpieces 3 of different sizes. For example, the workpiece 3 is placed on the raised portions 11 of two support members 1 on both sides along the width direction. The distance between the two adjacent support members 1 can be adjusted according to the width of the workpiece 3 to improve the applicability of the glue avoidance tooling of this application.

[0066] According to another embodiment of the present application, a delivery device 2 is provided. Figure 6 As shown, the conveying device 2 includes a conveyor belt 21 and the glue-avoiding tooling of the above embodiment.

[0067] In this example, the glue-avoiding tooling includes a supporting mechanism, which includes a supporting member 1 and a positioning member 12. The supporting member 1 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 11 at intervals, and the plurality of protrusions 11 are suitable for supporting the workpiece 3. The groove portion 14 between two adjacent protrusions 11 corresponds to the printed glue portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3, thereby avoiding the printed glue portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3 to position the workpiece 3 on the supporting member 1 and contact the edge of the workpiece 3 through the positioning member 12, thereby avoiding the printed glue portion 31 on the surface of the workpiece 3 from adhering to the conveyor belt 21 and other positions when the workpiece 3 is transported.

[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, the conveying device 2 further includes a conveyor belt 21, and the glue-avoiding tooling is installed on the conveyor belt 21. The workpiece 3 is placed on the glue-avoiding tooling, and the conveyor belt 21 can drive the glue-avoiding tooling to move, thereby realizing the conveyance of the workpiece 3.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, in this example, the conveying device 2 further includes a plurality of mounting seats 22, which are spaced apart and mounted on the conveyor belt 21. A glue avoidance tool can be mounted on the mounting seats 22, for example, by screwing the glue avoidance tool to the mounting seats 22. During use, the glue avoidance tool can be replaced with different sizes to accommodate workpieces 3 of different sizes.

[0070] For example, the glue-avoiding tooling includes a plurality of support members 1 , a plurality of mounting seats 22 installed at intervals on the conveyor belt 21 , and the plurality of support members 1 are installed on the mounting seats 22 in sequence.

[0071] According to another embodiment of the present application, a cell stringing machine is provided, which includes a glue printing device and the conveying device 2 of the above embodiment.

[0072] The conveying device 2 of the present application is capable of conveying battery cells with glue printed on the surface. The battery cell stringing machine also includes a loading device, which is suitable for taking materials from a silo. The glue printing device is suitable for screen printing glue on the surface of the battery cell. A first transfer robot is also provided between the glue printing device and the loading device. The first transfer robot is suitable for transferring the battery cells of the loading device to the glue printing device. After the glue printing device prints glue on the battery cell, the battery cell is transferred to the conveying device 2 of the present application by the second transfer robot, and the battery cell is conveyed to other processes by the conveying device 2. By conveying the battery cell by the conveying device 2 of the present application, the glue printed portion 31 on the surface of the battery cell can be avoided to prevent the glue printed portion 31 on the surface of the battery cell from adhering to the conveyor belt 21 and other positions.

[0073] The above embodiments focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.
